However,the seat the Party for Freedom gained went to Daniël van der Stoep,who previously had been a member but had resigned in September 2011. Van der Stoep was allowed to return because he was the highest listed candidate on the original Party for Freedom candidate list who wished to enter the European Parliament,the Party for Freedom however did not allow him to return to their party.

Madlener,who was number eight on the candidate list of the Party for Freedom for the 2012 Dutch general election,was chosen to the House of Representatives. Van der Kammen herself had been number 32 and was not chosen. [3] During her time in the European Parliament she was on political leave from her job at Tilburg University,and was allowed to return when she wanted. [5]
Her term ended on 1 July 2014. Van der Kammen had been member amongst others of the Committee on Transport and Tourism and the Delegation for relations with the Korean Peninsula. [1] She decided not to return to the European Parliament for personal and health reasons. [6]
